Female. 23 yo. Had juvederm injections in lips 2 months ago and procedure was botched. Ended up with asymmetry + two small lumps. Don't feel comfortable w/this surgeon and no other dr. will inject hyaluronidase. Having not performed original procedure - recommend letting product dissolve on its own. Problem is not extreme but very bothersome to me. Had juvederm before w/great results lasting >1 year. Don't want to wait so long. What can I do to help my body more quickly metabolize the juvederm?

Answer: Hyaluronidase Hyaluronidase is the best way to get rid of these lumps and asymmetry, but it no injector wants to do it then you may just have to wait it out. You could ask your injector if massaging the area helps break up the product.

Answer: Juvederm related lumps
If you have specific lumps that are painful or visible then find an experienced Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist who will assess your problem, offer advice and treatment. The recommendation to allow the product to dissolve with time may be quite appropriate if there is only a minor concern. The risk of treatment with Hyaluronidase or incision and drainage is very small but every treatment or remedy needs to be discussed. The ability to reverse the effect or speed up the disappearance of products like Juvederm with Hyaluronidase is one of the reasons that they are the best and safest filler products to use.
Good Luck,
